Please take a few moments to respond to the following questions to help us plan for the opening of schools in August. Complete a separate questionnaire for each child enrolled in Roanoke City Public Schools (RCPS). Please indicate each student's grade and school during the 2019-2020 school year.

Question Title

* 1. What is your student’s ID number, if known?

Question Title

* 2. What is your student's last name?

Question Title

* 3. What is your student's first name?

Question Title

* 6. Does this student have siblings who also attend school in Roanoke City Public Schools? (Remember, each student enrolled in RCPS must have a separate questionnaire completed)

Due to the attendance limitations necessary to maintain six (6) feet physical distancing in classrooms and on buses, our schools are planning to provide instruction using a hybrid schedule of a reduced in-school schedule and remote learning. However, the primary means of instruction will be conducted remotely using RCPS online learning resources. If/when guidance from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) allows for increased capacity, students will transition to attending school in person more regularly.

Public Health Professionals have made it clear that it is not possible to have a no-risk environment during a global pandemic. We are committed to providing families with options depending on the level of risk they choose to assume. We anticipate that some families will be reluctant to send their students to school until a COVID-19 vaccine and/or more effective treatment alternatives are approved and available.  RCPS will provide a remote learning option for families who choose this “lowest risk” option.

We understand your views may change over time, so the following questions are intended just to take your impression at this point. Your answers will not affect your ability to enroll in RCPS.

Question Title

* 7. Are you comfortable with your student attending in-school classes, if the school is NOT able to maintain 6-foot distancing in classrooms and on buses?

Question Title

* 8. Understanding that there are degrees of risk associated with school attendance please indicate your preference for instruction in the fall for this student.

If you indicated that your student would participate in hybrid instruction, please answer the next questions about transportation. If you selected the "Online learning only" option, you may proceed to the next section on Technology.

Question Title

* 9. Understanding that there are degrees of risk associated with student transportation please indicate your preference for transportation in the fall.

Question Title

* 10. A major issue RCPS needs to address in planning is the ability to provide transportation. Transportation will be impacted by the need for social distancing on buses. If RCPS does not provide or has limited resources for transportation, are you able to provide your own transportation to your child’s school with reasonable consistency?

Question Title
